Lane Bryant Bra Commercial Banned by ABC & Fox?!? What do YOU think of it?

Maegan brought this up on her blog and I had to mention it as well.  I was shocked!  Thanks Maegan for bringing this up! 

What do you ladies think?  Personally I am a big Lane Bryant bra fan, I've mentioned that I wear them on here a few times.  I don't think this commercial is as bad as half the ones I've seen on TV for Carl's Jr (ala Kim Kardashion) and other Victoria Secret commercials.  I agree with Maegan - I think this was banned on Fox & ABC due to the size of the model and not the content.  Other products have much more suggestive commercials as well (hello Trojan & Red Bull) so I don't believe it has to do with any sexual reference.  I'm just shocked this is a problem. 

It's really upsetting as a bigger person to not see more support.  I understand all these shows like Biggest Loser and that new Food Revolution show are out there showing people how to be healthier.  I think that is wonderful and I don't support morbid obesity or people who don't even try to be fit.  But being fit doesn't always mean being skinny!  You don't have to support obesity and unhealthy living to be supportive of healthy, fit, heavier set people like the beautiful lady in this ad. 

What do you ladies think?  Should this have been banned? 

A Wonderful Weekend! {so far...}

My weekend started on Friday.  My mom bought me a 1 hour massage.  I was nervous going - I don't know why, I've had a hand full of massages before.  I think I was nervous to parallel park downtown, but even that went well and I found a spot on the corner to pull into!  At first I was a little tense, I always have that period of "do you talk?"  "do I fall asleep?" dialogue going through my head.  I did start to relax though and soon was enjoying every minute.  Margaret does Thai massage, it is some actual massaging, but a lot of it is just pressure and stretching my muscles a bit.  It felt wonderful and the hour went by way too quickly.  I didn't realize how much I really needed that, but it helped a lot.  I told myself while I was laying there "I'm healing my body and my mind". 


Here is a video of Aiden playing his uncle Jeff's car. 

Saturday was a very busy day for us.  Went went to Target and got Aiden some much needed sleep short sets.  He has been getting way to hot in his footie jammies.  We also found some shorts on sale for him so he is all set for summer clothes now!  My mom-in-love also bought me 2 new books to read.  I am very excited, I started one that afternoon!

Then it was off to a birthday party!  Aiden's cousin Marcus turned 1 so we all headed over to the party.  It was great to see all the family.  Marcus wasn't super social with Aiden, but Aiden loved playing with his cousin's Kingston (9 months old) and JJ who is 5.  I took lots of video of them together.  I'm excited to see them grow up together and hopefully become friends.  Aiden was the biggest of the babies.  He didn't use to be, but he has double the size of Kingston and is pretty equal to Marcus.  Aiden is the youngest of the 3 boys.  I was very proud of Aiden.  He was willing to be passed around from person to person, he played on the floor, he tried to eat everyone's food.  In the end he ate some sardines and rice, peas and carrots from fried rice, had some banana and had a little bit of pork I think.  Everyone was shocked he was eating table foods and reaching for it.  I was proud of him.  He's the best eater and is very well behaved for a baby.

Aiden was awake most of the day too.  He didn't take a good nap until 6pm and even that nap was for about 30 minutes.  He adjusted well to his schedule being completely ruined and came home in a good mood.  We gave him a late bath and he played for a while and was sound asleep at 9pm.  We even had a good night of sleep.  He woke up very briefly at 1230a and then was up for about 30 minutes at 440am.  I can tell that even though my medicine needs to be adjusted I am doing better.  I was in a good mood and didn't mind being up with Aiden during the night.  It made me feel good that I could just hold him and love him back to sleep and not be stressing over it.  It was a good day for all of us.

Today we are just going to be relaxing at home.  My mom is making dinner.  We may do some cleaning or laundry, but I plan to just rest and read.

AIDEN CRAWLING AT 6.5 MONTHS! VIDEO

Videos!

I have a lovely new "videos" page right up there in the menu bar.  I just added 3 videos from yesterday alone!  He Army Crawled, He found and played with a brand new toy by himself AND him being tickled because his laugh is soo cute. 

I also have a video of him eating puffs by himself.  He's only had them when I break them in pieces before so today him eating them whole and on his own was great.  I will add that tonight or tomorrow once Kris gets to see it.

They are all short so please go enjoy them!

Sick Baby & Rolling Over!!

Well Aiden is sick. First little cold. We took him to the pedi yesterday and he actually has RSV, a virus, and could be coughing for up to a month he said. It's a pathetic sad cough too. Thanks to my new camcorder from Kris we caught his cough on tape to show the Dr. - since they never act sick when you take them in - and the Dr said it was very helpful! Woot.

This morning little sick boy was laying on our bed, and I was talking to him and next thing I know he rolled over! I couldn't believe my eyes! He is 3 months exactly today too, what a special way to remember his first roll. So I rolled him back over, and he did it again! Kris grabbed the camera (again a lifesaver!) and we caught rolls 3 & 4 on camera. He did it once more but not the rest of today. Still very exciting. Here is that little snipit.

Aiden's First Giggles on Camera

We have heard it, and we have enjoyed it, but thanks to my hubby buying me my camcorder for my birthday now EVERYONE can enjoy Aiden's little giggle! Sorry it's dark, I wasn't planning to record so the lights weren't on, but you get the point.
